On May 8, 2026 the Department of War launched PURSUE — the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters. 162 files released. war.gov/UFO is live. DOW statement: ‘in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency.’ Here is everything you need to know about what was released.
The CIA maintains a UFO collection in its Freedom of Information Act Electronic Reading Room at cia.gov/readingroom. The collection spans 1940s-1990s and includes internal CIA analysis of UFO reports, Robertson Panel documents, and hundreds of field intelligence reports. Full guide to accessing and using the collection.
The NSA has its own UAP declassification page at nsa.gov with historical releases of UFO-related signals intelligence documents. The collection includes 1970s-era intercept analysis and a 1968 document describing UFO operations. Full document index catalogued here.
Retired USAF Major General William Neil McCasland — former commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson AFB — disappeared in Albuquerque in early 2026. McCasland had been linked to UAP program knowledge. Authorities are still searching. The Debrief reported March 11, 2026.
The AARO Historical Record Report Volume I was released February 2024. The Pentagon said it found no evidence of recovered craft or hidden programs. But the report’s own findings tell a more complicated story — Project SAUCER, Robertson Panel, AATIP, and 50+ years of USG UAP investigation are all documented inside.
war.gov/UFO is the Pentagon’s live UAP document portal. The first tranche includes FBI infrared footage from western US (2025), Apollo 17 lunar anomalies, Middle East military reports (2022), UAE (2023), Greece (2023-2024), Africa (2025), Indo-Pacific Japan, and a composite sketch from a 2023 southeastern US sighting. All documents catalogued here.
On July 26 2023, three witnesses testified before Congress under oath: David Grusch (IC whistleblower), Ryan Graves (Navy pilot), and David Fravor (Nimitz TicTac pilot). Grusch alleged craft of non-human origin. Graves documented unreported UAP encounters. Fravor described the TicTac. This is the full record.
The article that broke the Grusch story to the world. Written by Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal, published June 5, 2023 in The Debrief. David Grusch — NGA/NRO intelligence officer — gave Congress and the IC IG classified information about programs possessing retrieved intact craft of non-human origin. This is the record.
The National Archives established Record Group 615 — the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection — under the 2024 NDAA. FAA, CIA, Air Force, and other agency UAP records are being transferred here on a rolling basis. All publicly available records are free to download.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna set an April 14, 2026 deadline for the Pentagon to hand over 46 military UAP videos. The deadline was missed. A War Department official then confirmed AARO is working with the White House to prepare releases — the acknowledgement that prompted PURSUE one week later.
Multiple sources told Liberation Times that senior intelligence figures James Clapper (DNI) and Stephanie O’Sullivan (PDDNI) oversaw a UAP-related program within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence during the Obama administration. Never previously reported.
On February 3, 2026, Corbell and Knapp released footage from a US Air Force MQ-9 Reaper near the Syria-Jordan border. A mushroom-shaped object with no wings, control surfaces, or propulsion system achieved a weapons-grade target lock — then instantly accelerated and disappeared. Five Eyes classified it as UAP.
Congressional leadership abandoned full enactment of the UAP Disclosure Act. It was not included in the final NDAA for FY2026. The UAPDA — which would have mandated declassification of UAP records and established an independent review board — is dead for this legislative cycle.
Liberation Times sources confirm Matthew Sullivan was directly involved in the technical aspects of a UAP legacy program concerning a craft ‘believed to be possibly of non-human origin.’ He conducted this work through a private company collaborating with US intelligence. He was scheduled to testify. He is dead.
Liberation Times reports a source confirmed an exotic vehicle of unknown origin has been stored at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland for decades. Rep. Burlison visited Pax River last month. The Navy’s primary flight test center is now a named UAP storage site.
The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office was established in 2022 to investigate UAP across air, sea, space, and transmedium domains. UAP whistleblowers including David Grusch have called it a honeypot. Here’s what AARO publishes and what that tells us.
John Greenewald Jr. began filing FOIA requests at age 15 in 1996. Thirty years later The Black Vault holds 3,838,797 pages of declassified government documents — the largest private archive of its kind. UAP documents, MJ-12 FBI files, NRO satellite programs, CIA collections.
Congressman Matt Gaetz described a January 2023 UAP incident during a test mission from Eglin AFB. FOIA documents obtained by The Black Vault confirmed the encounter. The object matched ‘no human capability.’ Most of the documentation remains classified.
Days after Trump ordered UAP file releases, the US Navy formally denied an appeal for 78 classified UAP photographs. The Navy cited Executive Order 13526 and a UAP Classification Guide — stating there is ‘no discretion’ to release them. The Black Vault documented the full legal contradiction.
Jesse Michels runs the American Alchemy YouTube channel (612K+ subscribers) applying venture capital evidence evaluation to UAP claims. His interviews with Gary Nolan, Charles Buhler, Kevin Knuth, Jake Barber and Robert Salas have produced some of the most technically rigorous UAP content on the internet.
